    Festive Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread

    November 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Pumpkin spice is one of my all time favourite seasons. Wait, that’s right, I said seasons. All the pumpkin recipes are timeless and scrumptious in my opinion. But this one, pumpkin spice monkey bread, is a showstopper. So easy to make too. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers. I make a small commission off of purchases made via qualifying links. Such a tasty way to enjoy the autumn flavours of pumpkin spice monkey bread. You need to start with a Bundt pan though, so don’t forget to get one before you start. I love this Bundt pan. If you make these regularly then you can also…

    Cute Kid’s Lunch Box Notes to Share

    October 17, 2021 / No Comments

    When our kids were younger they took the bus to school. The day could be awfully long without us, or so I thought anyways. I mean I know it was long for me often without them. So, I sometimes loved adding cute lunch box notes to their lunch boxes. My two kids struggled with anxiety too so sometimes the separation anxiety was high, especially with my youngest child. For years, I would give them each a business card tucked into their back packs. I know that sounds funny to some people. But for my girls it was the extra reassurance that they had my phone number and they could reach…

    September 28, 2021 / No Comments

    There are a trillion tasks to take care of when you are moving. From packing to scheduling movers and sometimes even setting up new schools for kids. The jobs seem endless.

    Morning Routine Checklist Organizing and Helping Kids with a Schedule

    August 12, 2021 / No Comments

    Now more than ever maintaining a morning routine is in everyone’s best interests. Kids thrive on routine and routines have frankly been hard to find during the pandemic at all. Post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I make a small commission off of purchases made via qualifying links. When my daughter was small, because of her specific disability, she needed routines more than a neurotypical child would. Her body and brain just did not work without that consistent routine. A lot of kids work that way. Many need support and constant reassurance that they are safe and routines do that. Also, when my daughter was small she…

    Gulf Coast Shrimp Dishes to Make You Swoon

    August 10, 2021 / No Comments

    I am the world’s biggest shrimp lover. So, if I am ever on the gulf coast or somewhere else in the world where shrimp are huge, fresh and plentiful, juicy and meaty, then I am going to order a heaping dish of shrimp. That is a given. Amazing Gulf Coast Shrimp So, when we did a 12-day girl’s getaway starting in New Orleans, stretching through Louisiana Northshore, Coastal Mississippi, Mobile Alabama and finally Gulf Shores Alabama, I was all over the shrimp dishes at each restaurant. At first, it was not intentional, but then it became purposeful and a bit of a joke amongst my gal pals travelling with me…

    Why I am Celebrating Finishing the Pandemic School Year

    July 25, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Kudos to all the university, college and high school kids who finished this challenging pandemic school year. Here’s why I am celebrating that achievement.  Pandemic learning was a huge challenge this year as was school in general. Socially, I feel like we haven’t given our kids enough credit for getting through the volatile and discombobulating pandemic school year they just had. Imagine being a teen or even an elementary child adapting to all of the stress and change that’s been thrown at them this year. If anything, I am surprised so many kept going to the very end of June. What I am Celebrating Last month, my oldest daughter finished…

    Have you ever been fishing? One of my kids LOVES to go fishing, so chances are good we will do that at some point this simmer.
